A: The Mathematica Journal was established as a quarterly journal when
it began publication in the summer of 1990. At that time, Addison-Wesley
Publishing Company was the
publisher. In 1992, Miller Freeman Publications assumed responsibilities for The Mathematica Journal, publishing quarterly issues in the
winter, spring, summer and fall through the winter of 1997. During that
time, The Mathematica Journal was available in print only, with an electronic supplement available on
diskettes. In
1998,
Wolfram Media, Inc. assumed publishing The Mathematica Journal, in order to transform
it into both an
online and a print publication, making the electronic components
available on the internet. This provided all subscribers with a
complete, evaluatable notebook for each article and column in each issue. This process is ongoing, and Wolfram
will resume the practice of
publishing four issues of The Mathematica Journal annually.

Q: What is a "one-year
subscription"?

A: Subscribers receive four issues of The Mathematica Journal in a
"one-year subscription." During the ongoing transition from a print publication to an online and print publication, fewer than
four issues have been published in the span of one year. A "one-year
subscription" ends when the subscriber has received four new issues.

Q: Can I subscribe to the online issue only?

A: Yes. There are several ways to subscribe to The Mathematica
Journal. You may receive the online edition exclusively or both the online
and print editions. Subscriptions are not available for the print edition
by itself. See Subscriptions for complete details.

Q: Can I receive online access
to back issues of The Mathematica Journal?

A:Current subscribers have access to the
contents of all available back issues of The Mathematica Journal.
